Beautiful and uncommonly early 10x8-inch black and white portrait, signed and inscribed in black fountain pen at the onset of her film career in the early 1930s. In fine condition for its age, with mild border creasing and the ink a shade light in spots, but better than suggested by our scan here. Gorgeous actress, singer and dancer Betty Grable, dubbed The Girl with the Million Dollar Legs and The Quicksilver Blonde, dazzled in films like The Gay Divorcee (1934), Tin Pan Alley (1940), Moon Over Miami (1941), I Wake Up Screaming (1941), Sweet Rosie O'Grady (1943), The Dolly Sisters (1945), The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1947), Mother Wore Tights (1947), My Blue Heaven (1950), The Farmer Takes a Wife (1953), and How to Marry a Millionaire (1953).
